Strange #286
In "Contrat contre nature !", James Rhodes steps into the role of Iron Man with the full weight of Stark Enterprises on his shoulders, wearing the War Machine armor designed by Tony Stark himself—now a symbol of legacy and responsibility. Written by Len Kaminski and brought to life by Kevin Hopgood’s dynamic art, with inks by Andrew Pepoy and colors by Mike Rockwitz, this issue captures the intensity of a hero stepping into a legacy he never asked for. The cover by Mark Bagley and Randy Emberlin perfectly frames the moment’s gravity.
In "Contrat contre nature !", Spidey and The Torch track down Venom on his isolated desert isle—long since exiled after ASM #347—and enlist him for a desperate mission: stop Carnage before he strikes. The uneasy alliance between the web-slinger, the human torch, and the symbiote raises the stakes in a fight where even the enemy’s past could be the key to victory.
In "Lourd héritage," James Rhodes steps into the role of Iron Man after Tony Stark's apparent death, taking up the War Machine armor—crafted by Stark himself—as he assumes leadership of Stark Enterprises. The weight of legacy and responsibility settles on Rhodes as he grapples with the immense power and expectations of the Iron Man mantle.
